Breaking News: Martin Brundle insists Sky F1 not guilty of British bias after Max Verstappen accusation….

Martin Brundle insists Sky Sports is “pretty balanced” in its coverage of Formula 1 as he rejected any suggestion of ‘British bias’.

It has been a significant talking point within F1 in recent weeks. A significant proportion of media coverage of the sport is from British journalists and outlets and, at the height of his title duel with Lando Norris, some fans of Max Verstappen suggested the Dutchman was getting unfair treatment from UK-based media.

Verstappen himself poured fuel on the fire with several comments he made, such as when he suggested he had “the wrong passport” to be making complaints, and when he said he could not see any British journalists in the press conference after he won the most recent race in Brazil.

Particularly critical of Verstappen’s driving across the two events beforehand were the likes of Sky Sports pundit Damon Hill, and his former colleague Johnny Herbert who now serves as an FIA steward. Brundle had also denounced the Red Bull racer’s actions at times but has since denied any suggestion of bias.
